My friend Nicky went swimming with the sharks at Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World. It’s an experience you can pay to do, but no amount of money could be paid to me to get me to do it.

While I was there I got to take some photos of the penguins (I love Penguins) but trying to focus the camera through a wet snow buggy window is not that easy and most of the photos didn’t come out very good. Still it was great fun.

Today I flew to Rotorua for the day (for work). The airplane I flew on was definitely one of the smallest planes I’ve ever been in. I’m sitting at the back of the plane (seat 10A) I could watch the pilot changing the controls even from the back of the plane.

The view when landing back in Auckland through the pilot’s window was amazing, we could see the landing lights… now that was cool.
